The Idea

There is nowhere on campus that is purely social seating. Everywhere to sit is accompanied by a cafe/restaurant/coffee shop, this causes pressure to buy things and justify using the seating spaces. We do not want to take up seats/computers in the library from students who need them, purely for an hour gap on our university timetables. We need a space to buy food we have brought from home, food bought in the Union shop or to simply sit between lectures.

The Discussion

There is a seating area in student union on 1st floor you can use to chill out and eat your own food from home. It’s very small though, but there’s a pool table as well I think? Could use a microwave and some bean bags. Maybe even some board games.
